Dr. Samir Rao Gallery

This patient underwent submental liposuction to remove the fullness under her chin.  This procedure is done in the office under local anesthesia and takes less than 20 minutes.

These before-and-after photos show the results of abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) combined with liposuction of the flanks. The patient desired improvement in abdominal contour and reduction of excess skin and fat around the midsection.

The before images demonstrate lax abdominal skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and fullness along the waistline and flanks (“love handles”). These concerns can develop after pregnancy, weight changes, or natural aging and often cannot be corrected with diet and exercise alone.

The after images show the patient following healing from surgery. Abdominoplasty was performed to remove excess skin, tighten the abdominal wall, and reshape the abdomen, while liposuction of the flanks was used to reduce stubborn fat deposits and enhance the natural waist contour. The result is a flatter, firmer abdomen and a more defined waistline, creating a smoother and more balanced silhouette.

This patient underwent nipple-sparing mastectomies with tissue expander reconstruction followed by exchange to silicone gel implants.

This 50-year-old patient underwent a lipoabdominoplasty—a combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty designed to refine the abdominal contour and remove excess skin.

In the before photos, areas of stubborn fat and skin laxity are visible, reflecting changes commonly associated with age, weight fluctuations, or past pregnancies.

The after images reveal a noticeably smoother, firmer, and more defined midsection. Liposuction has refined the waistline, while the abdominal tightening has restored a flatter, more youthful profile. The results highlight improved contour, enhanced symmetry, and a natural-looking silhouette.

These photos demonstrate how lipoabdominoplasty can rejuvenate the torso and restore confidence through careful, individualized surgical planning.

This patient underwent breast augmentation surgery with smooth round silicone implants.

This patient underwent a right lumpectomy and a right oncoplastic breast reconstruction and a left breast reduction for symmetry.

These before-and-after images highlight the refined, natural-looking results achieved with a facelift combined with lower blepharoplasty. Prior to surgery, the patient presented with facial laxity in the lower face and neck, along with under-eye fullness and shadowing that contributed to a tired appearance.

Following surgery, the after photos show a smoother, more youthful contour of the jawline and neck, with improved definition and balance. The lower eyelids appear refreshed and rested, with reduced puffiness and a softer transition between the eyelid and cheek. Overall, the results enhance the patient’s natural features while preserving facial expression, creating a rejuvenated appearance rather than an altered one.

Individual results may vary. These photos are shown for educational purposes and reflect outcomes after appropriate healing time.

This patient had a double nipple sparing mastectomies following her diagnosis of breast cancer.   Dr. Rao performed a two-stage reconstruction in this case.   He began by placing temporary devices called tissue expanders at the same time as the mastectomies.   Three months later he was able to remove the tissue expanders and replace them with permanent silicone implants.  Her goal was to have her reconstruct her breasts as close as possible to her native breasts.

This gallery showcases the transformative results of a facelift procedure. The “Before” images capture the patient’s natural features prior to surgery, highlighting areas of facial sagging, volume loss, and skin laxity. The “After” images reveal the refined, rejuvenated appearance achieved through the procedure, demonstrating smoother contours, lifted facial features, and a more youthful overall look.

These photos illustrate the artistry and precision of facial rejuvenation, emphasizing subtle yet impactful enhancements that preserve the patient’s natural beauty while restoring a refreshed, balanced appearance.
